Spring Soccer

Friday, March 31st, 2006

It’s time for Spring soccer.

I’m helping coach our second grader’s team and my wife and I are both coaching the kindergarten team.

It’s a typical early Spring here in Michigan, where some days are in the 40s, cloudy and generally suck out loud, whereas others are sunny and in the 60s.

Of course, the forecast for this Saturday is crap, cloudy, with temps in the 40s.

Go LadyBugs!

3 Variable Humor Test

Wednesday, March 29th, 2006
the Cutting Edge
(66% dark, 42% spontaneous, 21% vulgar)
your humor style:
CLEAN | SPONTANEOUS | DARK

Your humor’s mostly innocent and off-the-cuff, but somehow there’s something slightly menacing about you. Part of your humor is making people a little uncomfortable, even if the things you say aren’t themselves confrontational. You probably have a very dry delivery, or are seriously over-the-top.

Your type is the most likely to appreciate a good insult and/or broken bone and/or very very fat person dancing.

Continental Mayhem

Wednesday, March 15th, 2006

A story on Der Spiegel covers what scientists are calling the beginnings of a new ocean, at the earth’s surface!

Basically, a plate-shifting dance is taking place in Africa, just west of the Red Sea, with amazing speed.  Scientists describe new fissures and cracks in the earth’s surface, with the venting of hot gasses; indications of volcanic activity, and the presence of Basalt magma, the same magma that’s vented from volcanic spots in the ocean depths.

Cool stuff.

Watching the Oscars

Sunday, March 5th, 2006

I’m watching the Oscars tonight, as are many others.

Our oldest (she’s 8) is watching it with me for a bit.

Naomi Watts just walked out and my daughter says, “That is one weird dress.  Especially the top.”

Maybe I can get her a gig on E! next year.

Blew it.
